Brother Piet, I do not possess the words to properly convey to you what my feelings are about your paintings or how they make me feel. Ergo, I will simply say that you are a true Artist... and, your work moves me deeply!! I am especially touched by "Phoenix rising, Homage to Laker the sheppard" and "Enchanted garden of solitude and rest." "Phoenix rising, Homage to Laker the sheppard" softly, yet boldly speaks volumes about your love for and the recent loss of your buddy! And, there's no doubt in my mind that when he tires from romping and playing at Rainbow Bridge, he naps in your Enchanted Garden!!! Bless you, my brother!!

Piet, Fantastic! I like your use of "dealing with memory, heritage, history and geography." Virtually every landscape and most cultural themes have the sense of "location" inherent in them, i.e. geography, but few artists seem to be consciously aware of it (or perhaps it's inherent in an artists eye or its' subliminally implied?).

Many of your clouds and horizons I've seen a thousand times in the prairies and out west in the US, and your starry nights we can all relate to.

Congrats Piet your work is truly awe inspiring! The two that stood out for me were Lesotho Highland, a transcended journey & Getting moons out of my system, Namibie. You have really captured a unique essence with your work. Well done again!

Thanks to all of you for the support!!Thurday morn update!!!Got up real late and am off for some radio interviews and then off to the Gallery to do a lecture at 3pm.
